A Backless Dress

Because our back tends to be out of sight, it's no surprise that things can get a little dicey. If you opt for a plunging number like Lea Michele, a few spritzes of Murad Clarifying Body Spray ($37, murad.com) will quickly dry out pesky blemishes with its potent blend of retinol and salicylic acid. Even better? The spray works upside down, so you can easily target hard-to-reach zones.

You don't have to be half-naked to look fully sexy. Emma Stone's collarbones are elegant and alluring-and yours can be too, especially with a light dusting of Urban Decay Sparkling Body Powder ($20, urbandecay.com), which leaves behind a fine shimmer, not chunks of glitter.
